Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
The success of the classic 'Beverly Hills Cop' called for a sequel, which managed to stay as good as the original movie. Following the first film, the script continues to be well-constructed, even if it is simple, the big difference is the greater number of action scenes. 'Beverly Hills Cop II' still brings the good jokes from its predecessor, but this time, Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) has bigger problems to deal with. With the increase in adrenaline, there is even a homage to Sylvester Stallone, who was one of the icons of the time. In one of the scenes it is possible to see a poster of the long 'Stallone Cobra' - which, it is worth saying, was recorded from an unused script for the first 'Beverly Hills Cop'. The role of Foley, in fact, was originally written for Sylvester Stallone.

Our suggestions
Axel Foley (Murphy) is back-back where he doesn't belong! He's going "deep, deep, deep undercover" into the chic wilds of Southern California, unleashing his arsenal of blazing gunfire and rapid-fire gags against a gang of international munitions smugglers. Back, too, are Judge Reinhold and John Ashton as Murphy's crime-busting sidekicks. And Top Gun's director Tony Scott keeps the pace fast, furious and funny.

From the same director
Top Gun
One of the great popcorn classics from the 1980s, directed by Tony Scott ("Days of Thunder") and starring the trio Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer and Kelly McGillis. The plot is about a group of Air Force pilots who go to the base in San Diego, California, to become the greatest aces of the sky. It's not one of the most elaborate films in history, far from it, but there is all that popcorn atmosphere of the time, which turned 'Top Gun' into a classic of TV reruns. No wonder the bar used in one of the classic scenes of the film is now a tourist spot.
Days of Thunder
"Days of Thunder" is certainly the purest popcorn cinema of the late 1980s to early 1990s, summarizing both its mistakes and successes. A young Tom Cruise plays Cole Trickle, a talented and hot-headed race car driver trying his luck in NASCAR. At times, the movie recalls the plot of "Top Gun" (also from the same director, Tony Scott) and at other times, adds new elements. There are problems with character construction and the dialogue is far from good, but the production makes up for it with great (for the time) action scenes, races and accidents on the racetracks. There is also a good performance by Robert Duvall as the team boss, inspired by the legendary Harry Hyde, plus lots of chemistry on screen between Cruise and future wife Nicole Kidman. All this is backed by a soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer ("Inception" and "The Lion King"). No wonder "Days of Thunder" was a repeated figure on American TV repeats in the early 90s, helping to boost NASCAR fever in the country. For those looking for adrenaline in the style of the past, even without a great story to sustain it.
